The problem is that lots of people consider a weight of 454 gram an integer numeric value, rather than a real, especially if they use a digital scale. If you ask "the man in the street" to explain "integer" and "real" numbers, you may be surprised by the (lack of) answers you get! (There is nothing 'un-real' about, say, 'five' Smile | :) ) You cannot expect beginners in programming to have a solid background in mathematics.

(Almost) everyone have little problems distinguishing between counting and measuring. Well, that is my experience. YMMV.
